Catering

For many elderly people the enjoyment of food is one of the enduring pleasures of life. Under the management of our head chef we have a varied menu which caters for most tastes and which we will adjust for individual preferences.

All our meals are prepared on the premises from fresh produce. There is always a choice of courses on the menu and a hot and cold alternative for all three main meals. In addition, we will generally endeavour to offer an alternative to the set menu. We provide for specialised diets such as diabetic, vegetarian, salt- or gluten-free whilst maintaining good, home cooking. In particular we strive to provide visually appealing meals to those requiring a soft diet.

If a patient receives a gift of special food (or arranges it themselves as a treat) we will, with prior notice, be pleased to prepare it (within the limits of medical acceptability and practicality).

Meals (for which there is a nominal charge) and light refreshments can be provided at the resident's request for their visitors.

We always remember that we are a home, not an institution. I am truly proud of the way our staff, nurses, carers and support personnel treat our residents and their families as friends, rather than residents.
